 Encyclopedia: Drop tank
A drop tank is an expendable external fuel tank carried by aircraft for long-range flights.
Such tanks are now commonplace on military aircraft and occasionally for civilian use, although civilians are less likely to discard tanks except in the event of extreme emergency.
The primary disadvantage with drop tanks is that they impose a drag penalty on the aircraft carrying them.

The drop tank is plumbed in series with a vent to the atmosphere it is the last tank in the system which means it is the first tank to empty (and would be the last one to fill when filling the system).
Pat is correct about the second tank taking abuse, but he forgot to mention that most of that abuse was the result of the excess weight of my time-delay parachute deployer (mounted in the tank) along with the failure of many different parachute designs to open or be strong enough to handle the opening speeds.

The Naval Safety Center's SIMS database has 10 Class C mishaps and hazreps on file concerning dropped tanks, but that doesn't account for all incidents (a hazrep backlog exists, so some incidents are not listed, and others aren't reported).
The tank could not be dropped until safety observers were assigned, tools were available, and a qualified plane captain-not a senior maintainer, CDI or QAR-signed the final signature block, authorizing the removal.
If the level was too high, the PC would not sign the card, and the tank would be defueled (either by pencil drain or another method).

a surge tank uses a low-pressure high-flow pump to pump from the tank into the surge tank (overflow from the surge is returned to the main tank) while a high-flow, high-pressure pump circulates fuel from the surge tank directly up to the fuel rail.
Tank and pumps aren't too expensive - biggest cost are the braided fuel lines and connections.

Makino's wire EDM, the U53, features a drop tank design that impacts many aspects of the EDM process, including operator efficiency and safety.
The drop tank, with fixed table, has many advantages, including the elimination of the dielectric weight shift (113 gallons/908 lb) during machining, and improving servo reaction speed and precision.
In addition, the greater access to the work area provided by the drop tank design can reduce the awkward leaning during set-ups that may lead to potentially dangerous back strains.

Class II were 1.5 stage to orbit designs, using an orbiter vehicle and a drop tank.
This was due to the required complex internal arrangement of tanks and equipment within the curving hull, difficulty of fabricating the airframe and tanks, and poor subsonic lift/drag performance.
Phase A studies showed that use of gaseous H2 from the orbiter's tanks as fuel for such engines drastically reduced the orbiter weight compared to use of conventional JP-4 jet fuel housed in separate tanks.

 At Home Mechanic: June 2005 Archives
A gasoline tank in your car that is less than half full represents a danger to a vital part of your car's fuel system and I do not mean the danger of possibly running out of gas on the road.
Now this may seem counter intuitive to keep an electrical device inside a tank full of volatile gasoline that will eventually be sparked into combustion by an electric spark at the combustion chamber, but this system seems to be relatively safe and we do not hear of cars blowing themselves up on a frequent basis.
But driving your car with less than half a tank of gas on a regular basis, particularly in hot weather is guaranteed to put extra wear on your fuel pump by denying it the cooling that a full tank of gas provides.
